  — Ashley E.

• “Hi! I’m Tonks and I sure do live up to my name! I’m full of energy, and I love to run, wrestle, and play! My mom doesn’t like conventional dog parks because some dogs there are not nice, which makes it hard for us to find places to run and play!“

• “Hi I’m Tonks! I’m a 9 year old good girl who was rescued as a puppy. My parents think I’m the best dog ever. I love to sniff and run around and explore! I also love treats, my parents, my dog and cat siblings, and am friendly with most people and dogs.“

  — Sabrine M.

• “I am a black Lab mix, age 10, and 70 lbs. I have moved with my woman back to the area, and I am a bit anxious. Unfortunately, I cannot tolerate my canine brethren at this point, and I find strangers somewhat scary. As such, I desire a private yard in which to play. Thank you kindly.“

  — Christine S.

• “I don't recall much of my childhood and was only 6 months old when I ended up on death row. I'm not even sure what I did to get in trouble; I was just a playful, energetic girl! I was lucky Kay rescued me and brought me to Washington with her. Some people came in with their little black dog and visited with me, then they took me home with them, and I'm still here!“

  — Lin S.

• “I think my human is the best human EVER. I want to be with her all the time and want all of her attention. I’m shy around new people and don’t like it when people try to pet me before I’m ready. I do best when I’m given time to smell all the smells and decide if I want to new people to touch me. I’m also pretty shy with new dogs and can be kind of grumpy of familiar dogs if I’m not in the mood to play. I like to have control of situations and don’t like my authority challenged. My mom says I’m not a good house guest so I don’t get to visit other houses very often. I’m really smart and learn things pretty quickly usually. My mom says I’m the most beautiful pain in her butt, whatever that means.“

  — Allison R.
